Break and Flow
Hip hop is a global form of creative expression. In Cuba, Brazil, and Haiti, rappers refuse the boundaries of hip hop’s US genesis, claiming the art form as a means to empower themselves and their communities in the face of postcolonial racial and class violence. Despite the geographic and linguistic borders that separate these artists, Charlie Hankin finds in their music and lyrics a common understanding of hip hop’s capacity to intervene in the public sphere and a shared poetics of neighborhood, nation, and transatlantic yearnings. Situated at the critical intersection of sound studies and Afro-diasporic poetics, Break and Flow draws on years of ethnographic fieldwork and collaboration, as well as an archive of hundreds of songs by more than sixty hip hop artists. Hankin illuminates how new media is used to produce and distribute knowledge in the Global South, refining our understanding of poetry and popular music at the turn of the millennium.

Centers and Peripheries in Romance Language Literatures in the Americas and Africa
What is center and periphery? How can centers and peripheries be recognized by their ontological and axiological features? How does the axiological saturation of a literary field condition aesthetics? How did these factors transform center-periphery relationships to the former metropolises of Romance literatures of the Americas and Africa? What are the consequences of various deperipheralization contexts and processes for poetics? Using theoretical sections and case studies, this book surveys and investigates the limits of globalization. Through explorations of the intercultural dynamics, the aesthetic contributions of former peripheries are examined in terms of the transformative nature of peripheries on centralities.
Cidade de lobos
Os ensaios reunidos em Cidade de Lobos discorrem sobre as formas de representação das margens urbanas na obra de Rubens Figueiredo, um dos mais expressivos escritores da literatura brasileira contemporânea. Em sua análise, Paulo Roberto Tonani do Patrocínio destaca a cidade como palco primordial para o exame das diferenças e desigualdades sociais, privilegiando o olhar sobre territórios marginais. Ao propor uma leitura acerca da obra de Rubens Figueiredo, o crítico coloca em relevo o diálogo que o autor realiza com a tradição naturalista e analisa os recursos adotados na tematização da violência urbana a partir da leitura crítica do romance Passageiro do fim do dia e dos livros de contos Contos de Pedro e O livro dos lobos.
Transformation von Rechtssystemen in Brasilien
Dietmar Klumpp untersucht die Transformation von Rechtssystemen in Brasilien anhand von Fallbeispielen aus den Favelas von Rio de Janeiro. Das Land weist in diesen illegal entstandenen Wohngebieten nahezu rechtsfreie Räume auf. Dort entwickeln sich Alternative Normensysteme, die mit den rechtsstaatlichen Regeln konkurrieren oder sich komplementär zu ihnen verhalten. Der Autor analysiert Gründe für die Entstehung und Veränderung von Alternativen Normensystemen, defekter Rechtsstaatlichkeit oder hybriden Rechtssystemen und diskutiert die Bedingungen rechtsstaatlicher Transformation. Auf diese Weise trägt seine innovative Studie zum Verständnis der aktuellen brasilianischen Entwicklung bei.
